Did she meet with the top guy at Sainsburies?
@Lazarus, the thread had closed before I saw your post. As much as it pains me to agree with her, I don’t mind Jack calling AA attendees a group of drunks. They do it in my area too, and it’s used because the first word of the Serenity Prayer is “God” and God is also part of Step 3. I believe the forefathers (and certainly people since) were worried that religious terminology would turn folk away and put them off, so it can be used as an acronym - e.g Group of Drunks or Gathering of Drunks, Good Orderly Direction. if she’d called them Gaggle of Dickwads then a) I probably wouldn’t be massively surprised and b) I would have been offended for them.
(As always, this is just my view. People in AA might not like being collectively called any of the above and that’s fair dos too)
Crikey. I wonder if anyone has contacted Superdrug directly about her behaviour. It's not good is it ! I assume she's already been paid.
To be fair she's been so tit at her job I can't imagine anyone beyond these forums is even aware she's "working" with them
I'm sure this is why she didn't report her 'burglaries' to the police, she was minding her own bleeping business and not telling anyone. Except all of Twitter
You most definitely did not imagine it.
I don't know that she ever publically walked back the testosterone/binder/double-mastectomy-plans, but in this fairly nauseating interview she asks the interviewer to use the pronoun "she".

And you must never, ever, ever, ever steal her recipes. Yes, Jamie Oliver, I am looking at you.
Surprised she wasn’t in the bargain bin
As I've said before, to be honest, as an atheist, I have a lot of issues with AA and other groups insisting on belief in a "higher power", which, however you frame it, is by definition religion.
Obviously it works for a lot of people, and that's fine, but it would 100% put me off getting involved in it if it was ever necessary.
What about pumbles?
Speaking of, I saw this online and HOWLED. I think this might be why OH with the big car LEFT. Plot twist! Old Harold was a double agent!
Superdrug has ended their association haven't they?
Must be because when Jack gave her talk she urged the staff to stand up And demand a decent wage. Just after she told them to ignore shop lifting.
This is such a good point. Here, shoplifters are more likely to target small convenience stores - which are usually owned by immigrants whose grasp of the language may be shaky, and who are not as savvy about legal matters as, say, a huge supermarket chain.odd how she thinks shoplifters confine their activities to corporate-owned and large businesses. Cos Mr B with his small deli/cornershop/newsagents/offy/market stall/ greengrocers is never targeted.
But duck those guys, they're just evil capitalist fat cat CEOs in training, right?
I call myself an old junkie sometimes. But I would never use it about anyone else. Also, I am aware that when I describe myself- jokingly- this way, there's usually something else going on. I'm either being self-abasing for lols, flippant as a way of coping with anticipated scorn, or glib. None are good strategies for recovery.
I totally get that, and a lot of the meetings where I am are held in church halls too. I’ve heard it said on many an occasion that it has put people off and I understand why.
When it comes to the HP, I was told she, he or it could be anything (I won’t say what mine is because you’ll all laugh. And it’s not my thread
) and I know that’s helped people too. But there is a very, very close association to religion that could be the difference for someone coming to a 12-Step fellowship or not

I don’t believe she ever took testosterone. (Shocker I know). There were never any physical signs that she was on it, such as facial hair growth, thinning head hair (despite the supposed bald patches) or voice changes. I remember one of her cookery books, the one with the tool belt, her face looks a lot more masculine. But that’s clearly photoshopped to all hell and she’s not even recognisable.
huh, re-reading that Scotsman interview, this paragraph stood out to me: 
Maybe they were happy to accept her resignation because she kept calling in with a "migraine". Do that often enough in any workplace and they'll get annoyed. Can only imagine it being worse when you've got rosters to juggle.
